Why Millions Have Watched This Mom's Shoe-Tying Tutorial

If you're struggling to teach your kid how to tie their shoes, one mom might have a solution.

Last month, Kirsten Johnson, the mom behind Unstoppable Mother, took to Facebook to live stream her tutorial for what she deemed "the world's easiest way to teach your kids to tie their shoes for back to school."

In the video, her four-step shoe-tying demo looked simple enough, but when she turned the camera on her own 7-year-old son, Rylan, who'd "had some frustration with the bunny ears" and only just learned this new technique, viewers got to see how quick a skill it really is to learn.

The short, two-minute clip has been viewed more than 5.8 million times, and fans are still raving about it on Kirsten's Facebook page.

"I absolutely love reading these comments hearing how children are doing this and feeling amazing because they can now tie shoes," she wrote in a comment today. "That was the purpose of my video. It was to help give any child the confidence that they can tie their shoes and they don't have to give up, or get frustrated."
